This Majestic Place

From a deep coma, I slip away  
Where the yellow moths and poppies sway 
And the gentle sun pours crimson gold,
On meadows burnished  since time of old. 

It is here that jaybirds decked in fresh reds 
Whistle dreamy tunes like morn's newly weds, 
That lingering treetops stand aside 
As heaven claims me for a long ride.

For the wind is pure, a calm it achieves 
Displaying the glory of dusky leaves---
So majestic is this place where I tread
Like a thousand years have dawned and fled.
